- dylan604 5y agoI don't have an Android device presicely because of this. I don't use Google Chrome, search, etc. I block all GA,Tagmanager,blahblahblah as well.
- oefrha 5y agoGreat, this “issue” is irrelevant to you and your off-topic rant adds exactly nothing to this discussion of a clearly defined risk. For other people who have made a relevant device choice, the point stands that it’s a non-issue since there’s no additional risk.
- procombo 5y agoHardly. Your privacy also depends on what devices your neighbors use. Bluetooth/Wifi/etc packet broadcast, etc. Apple does _some_ things to midigate privacy risks for their users, but not enough.
- heavyset_go 5y agoThis. My wireless networks, MAC addresses etc are collected on Google's end by my neighbors' Google devices for things like advanced location tracking.
- tekknik 5y agoBut note that now Apple has fake mac addresses (for wifi though) for this reason.
- heavyset_go 5y agoGoogle's advanced location tracking logs access point ESSIDs and MAC addresses. Whatever Apple is doing won't stop that.
- domnomnom 5y agoAs someone in a similar boat without an android, I think it adds to the discussion. It makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside to see such rants.
- dylan604 5y agoActually, Google and Apple teamed up on a contact tracing concept. Even when it was first annouced, the fact that G was attached meant that I wasn't interested. Apple's involvement only lessened the distrust slightly to me, but not enough for me to want to bother with it.
- Dah00n 5y agoThe only option you have is a phone like the Nokia 3310 then. Android and iOS are equally bad, just in different quantities of bad in different areas.
